Mutual fund, an investment vehicle by retail investors, is playing a vital role in our capital market by transforming the sum of the invested funds of investors into investing in a diversified portfolio by the professional investment managers. Since 1980, the mutual funds have been emerging rapidly in the stock market of Bangladesh. This research work attempts to evaluate the financial performance of growth-oriented Bangladeshi Close-end mutual funds traded in Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE). In order to fulfill the objectives of the paper, ten mutual funds out of thirty-six have chosen. The Prime data used is the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the selected mutual funds and the returns of the CS 30 as a benchmark index. This paper concentrates on the evaluation of mutual funds by employing various research methodologies such as Treynor?s ratio, Sharpe ratio, and Jensen?s alpha and Regression Analysis. Finally, an attempt has also undertaken to assess the statistical relationship between the performance CS 30 and the mutual funds.

\section[{Introduction}]{Introduction}\par
n investment decision is a crucial decision for an investor to generate a fair return from the utilization of surplus funds. Making an investment decision requires to have a thorough consideration of many determinants, including the risk and return, liquidity, marketability and tax benefits, etc. Mutual fund paves the way for investing the investment in an asset group of preference such as equity or debt. Not only the large investors but also the small investors have been motivating to have exposure in the financial markets through a mutual fund.\par
A mutual fund is a financial intermediary that pools money by selling shares to the public and invest the proceeds in a diversified portfolio of securities. Each share sold represents a proportional interest in the securities managed by the investment company on behalf of its unit-holders. In another word, an investment company that is entitled to collect money from investors and invests the money in stocks, bonds, money-market securities, or a combination of other securities referred to as a mutual fund. A mutual fund is a cost-efficient investment vehicle chosen by investors to have financial excellence in terms of obtaining high returns. Investors sharing a common investment objective become the shareholder of the fund by purchasing shares or units of the mutual fund. Investors may differ in buying the shares of the mutual fund depending on the personal investment objectives too. The parties who are involved with the management of the mutual funds are Sponsors, Board of Trustees, Asset Management Company and Custodian.Net Asset Value (NAV) is the intrinsic value and market price of the particular scheme.NAV shows the appreciation or depreciation of the money invested in a specific plan.\par
Investors, or shareholders have been used interchangeably throughout the study. The role played by mutual funds has created economic motivation for the investors. By investing in mutual fund schemes, the investor can effectively achieve the benefits of diversification at a lower cost, even with a small amount of money. Investors are also able to reduce a variety of costs related to investment and management of portfolios as investors purchase the services of a presumably skilled financial advisor at less price than if the investor directly and individually negotiated with such an advisor. Most importantly, mutual funds provide liquidity for the investors as it can be bought or liquidated any day at the closing NAV. The number of assets in mutual funds have been growing significantly over time. Bangladesh has witnessed exponential growth in the mutual fund industry. The number of and assets in mutual funds have been growing notably over the years. mutual funds by the distinguished researchers around the globe.\par
According to Biplob, M. N. K. (2017), the majority of the selected closed-end mutual funds in the Dhaka Stock Exchange can generate returns, which is greater than the benchmark market index (DSEX) in terms of risk and return based on the results of different risk-adjusted performance measures. This is inconsistent with the results of this research work as none of the mutual funds traded in the Chittagong Stock exchange can outperform the benchmark market index (CS 30). He also explored whether the mutual funds provide the benefits of diversification, market timing, and selectivity of securities to their investors. It is the finding of his study that 60\% of the selected mutual funds are well diversified. Besides, He did not find any significant relationship between timing skill and return of funds. He also emphasized the development of the institutional environment for the gradual progress of the mutual fund industry in Bangladesh.\par
According to Oleksandra, Lemeshko \& Oldrich, R. (2015), mutual funds traded in emerging economies (evidence from BRIC, CEE, sea, and MENA regions) hardly generate returns above the market. The finding is that 4796 open-end active and non-active mutual funds from 27 emerging economies showed downward performance relative to their benchmarks. This underperforming trend continued to hold during the times of crisis, recession, the period of recovery and economic growth. Nonetheless, there are some topperforming funds in every region except MENA. These mutual funds continued to outperform irrespective of overall macroeconomic situation and local capital markets. This result is inconsistent with the findings of this research work.\par
According to Zaheeruddin, M. Sivakumar, P. Reddy, K. S. (2013), ICICI mutual fund of India generated high returns and low risk among the selected funds. Besides, it has revealed that Birla Sun Life mutual fund possessed high risk. They also ranked these mutual funds as per the performance ratios. Accordingly, ICICI has ranked in the top position. So, this finding will add insights into the decision-making criteria of the eligible investors to employ the funds in an appropriate investment vehicle.\par
According to Reddy, D. C. P. (2013), 14 schemes in India beat the benchmark return (Sensex). Besides, it has also revealed that 17 equity schemes have low total risk relative to benchmarks (Sensex, Nifty).\par
According to Prajapati, P. K. P \& Patel, P. M. (2012), the findings of the study reveal that all the mutual fund schemes in India have generated gain from 2007 to 2011. They have obtained it by using daily closing NAVs of mutual fund schemes of selected top five asset management companies from 1 st January 2007 to 31 st December 2011.Different risk -adjusted measures such as risk-return analysis, Sharape ratio, Treynor ratio, Jensen's measure ,etc. have been used to conduct this research work. Besides, funds are less volatile than benchmark indexes.\par
According to Agarwal, S. \& Mirza, N. (2017), Sharpe and Treynor ratio of the selected mutual fund schemes in India indicated that 90\% of the mutual funds have outperformed than the benchmark. Besides, the downside risk is comparatively higher, too supported by the analysis of value at risk for mutual funds.\par
According to Kiyamaz, H \& Simsek, K. D. (2017), emerging markets of mutual funds differ from the developed markets based on liquidity, size and regulation. They took an attempt to examine the performance of US-based emerging mutual funds total of 300 mutual funds have been chosen as a sample of diversified emerging markets funds (equity fund 222 and bond fund 78) from January 2000 to May 2017. The findings show that 5\% of diversified equity funds provide significant alphas to the investors as well as 6\% of emerging market bond funds offer significant positive alphas.\par
According to \hyperref[b1]{Kiymaz, H. (2015)}, it has been revealed that investor has positive alphas with investing in Chinese mutual funds. This is inconsistent with the results of this research work. Besides, there are enormous variations in generating returns by the Chinese mutual funds. These funds do not make an excess returns for the investors consistently.\par
According to Qamruzzaman. (2014), abnormal returns have been generated by most of the mutual funds in Bangladesh compared to benchmark return. His finding supports the investigation of the performance evaluation of 32 mutual funds listed in DSE.\par
According to Jayadev. (1996), mutual funds have not performed better than their benchmark indicator, and fund managers are not sufficiently able to use their market timing and selectivity skills. 
\section[{III.}]{III.} 
\section[{Objectives of the Study}]{Objectives of the Study}\par
The prime aim of the paper is to evaluate the financial performance of the growth-oriented Bangladeshi close-end mutual funds traded in CS concerning the return of the benchmark index. Also, efforts have been there to identify the impact of the diversification and CS 30 on the return of the mutual funds.\par
a) Hypotheses of the study H1. Returns of the benchmark index have influence on the return of the fund. H2. Diversification and the return of CS 30 have an impact on the returns of the fund.\par
IV. 
\section[{Research Methodology a) Sampling}]{Research Methodology a) Sampling}\par
Ten close-end mutual funds among 36 have been chosen for the study. The period of the research work is 31 st January 2013 to 31 st December 2017. This sampling has conducted based on the market capitalization of the mutual funds. 
\section[{b) Sources of the data collection}]{b) Sources of the data collection}\par
The only the secondary source used to satisfy the objectives of this study. Quantitative data for conducting this research work have collected from the library of Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE). Monthly NAV of the ten mutual funds has obtained. Besides, the dividend of the mutual funds has also considered to correct the NAV. 3-months Treasury bill rate is assumed as the benchmark for the risk -free rate. 
\section[{c) Data Analysis techniques}]{c) Data Analysis techniques}\par
Data Analysis techniques used for the study has shown below: 1. Sharpe's ratio 2. Treynor ratio 3. Jensen's Alpha 4. Regression analysis 
\section[{V. Performance Evaluation of Mutual}]{V. Performance Evaluation of Mutual}\par
Funds: Discussion of the Empirical Findings a) Jensen's Alpha Michael Jensen, an American economist, has developed Jensen alpha, a portfolio performance measure to reflect the differentiation between the actual return of the portfolio and the expected return of the portfolio at a given level of systematic risk.\par
Portfolio managers use Jensen's Alpha, a popular risk-adjusted performance measure to measure how much excess returns the portfolio has earned over and above the market returns as proposed by the CAPM model. A portfolio with a positive alpha outperforms the market and vice-versa. None of the ten mutual funds has been able to generate a higher return than the equilibrium return as evidenced by the negative alpha. Thus, it indicates that funds have underperformed the market reflecting the weak performance of the fund manager in fulfilling the investment objectives. 
\section[{b) Treynor ratio}]{b) Treynor ratio}\par
Treynor ratio, a composite measure of portfolio performance, was developed by the Treynor to measure the excess return per unit of beta (systematic risk). It is also known as a reward to volatility ratio. The benchmark is the excess returns of the market over the market representing a superior performance of the fund. Four funds among the ten have experienced higher returns than the benchmark return in case of Treynor ratio. Also. VANGUARD AML RUPALI BANK BALANCED FUND has got the highest excess return over the risk -free return for taking per unit of systematic risk followed by Grameen Mutual Fund one: Scheme Two, First Janata Bank Mutual Fund and Popular Life First Mutual Fund. 
\section[{c) Sharpe ratio}]{c) Sharpe ratio}\par
William Sharpe, an American economist, developed Sharpe ratio, a risk-adjusted measure of performance, to evaluate the performance of a portfolio and its manager. It is also known as a reward to variability ratio as it measures the risk premium return per unit of total risk. All the mutual funds have a negative Sharpe ratio than that of the benchmark market index. Overall, mutual funds in Bangladesh are not in a good position than the benchmark index. The return of mutual funds failed to beat the return of CS 30. So, the fund manager needs to change the structure and investment strategy of the portfolio. 
\section[{d) Diversification}]{d) Diversification}\par
A coefficient of determination, a statistical tool, can be used to measure the diversification of the portfolio. It is known to all that the unsystematic risk can remove with good diversification of portfolio. It is determined by regressing the portfolio's additional return against the additional market return. A high value of the coefficient of determination is the indicator of greater diversification of fund and vice-versa. The higher value of the coefficient of determination indicates that funds are well diversified. GRAMEEN MUTUAL FUND ONE: SCHEME TWO has experienced the highest coefficient of determination (5.02601E-05), followed by the TRUST BANK FIRST MUTUAL FUND with the coefficient of determination of 2.42901E-06. The remaining eight have a lower coefficients of determination, indicating that they are not well-diversified portfolios and have some level of diversifiable risk. It has also identified that FIRST BANGLADESH FIXED INCOME FUND has obtained the lowest coefficient of determination among the ten mutual funds. 
\section[{e) Regression analysis}]{e) Regression analysis}\par
The Regression analysis has done to find whether there is any statistical relationship between the return of CS 30 (benchmark index) and the return of the .05 indicates only that there is an influence of the return of CS 30 on the return of each mutual fund. Values of significance an F in the regression analysis show that none of the mutual funds have F value of less than .05. It indicates that there is no statistical or significant relationship between the return of the CS 30 and the return of the mutual funds. So, the return of CS 30 does not influence on the return of the mutual funds.

a. This study concentrates on only some selected closed-end mutual funds. This sample may not represent the actual performance of the mutual fund industry in Bangladesh. b. The irrationality of the investors is far away from this study. c. There may have factors beyond the NAV which have not considered in this study. d. This study is based on only secondary data.

\section[{Conclusion}]{Conclusion}\par
Recently, many of the mutual funds are trading below their NAV, hurting the retail investors. Due to the poor performance of some of the mutual funds, investors are losing confidence in it, walking away, investing further. A low dividend makes the investors reluctant towards mutual funds. Lack of integrity and inefficiency in managing the funds by the issue managers have identified by the stock analyst as another reason for the poor performance of the mutual funds. Besides, it expects that non-performing mutual funds be liquidated from the market and return the money to the investors. Fund managers should comply the ethical practices, professionalism, and ruleregulation to build trust and confidence among the investors. With some risk -adjusted performance measurement, this paper found that hardly funds have generated superior returns than benchmark return. These findings show that the mutual funds traded in CSE fail to perform better than the CS 30. It strongly suggests that fund managers should develop investment strategy wisely within the framework of regulatory compliance so that more investors are prone to investing in mutual fund making a vibrant environment of investment for all. The findings of the study would assist the investors in making the correct investment decision supported by the historical data analysis of the mutual fund. \begin{figure}[htbp]
